Yeah, I guess said is the wrong word. It would be more accurate to say that you rejoiced in the prospect of Paul losing, even renaming the title of your thread to "Paul losing" from the more cautious title used in the original article. That sounds a bit different from "Hes been a congressman for decades and its likely that he will continue to be one."
You can parse and spin all you like. The fact remains that I never said Paul was going to lose his race. You stated that I did. That makes you incorrect
This sounds a bit different as well:
Thats because that statement was addressing people who supported Paul in the presidential primary, NOT in his congressional race.
Makes me wonder about the polls you started a thread about, and wonder just what margin of victory would deserve a stronger word than beaten. Pajamas media said they were internal polls from both campaigns, but I somehow doubt that they really got access to internal polls from the Paul campaign. If they did, the pollsters definitely need to be fired, having reported a 10% lead for Peden not long before the actual 2:1 vote in favor of Paul. But that seems unlikely to me. It seems more likely to me that after their exclusive interview with Peden, pajamasmedia was fed some carefully selected polling data by his campaign, then just claimed they had gotten similar access (despite their obvious hostility) to the Paul campaign.
That may very well be true. I have no way to verify or authenticate the accuracy of polling numbers. However its kind of sour grapes to attack their accuracy now that the election is over.
Regardless, of this, the fact remains that you all are hailing the fact that he can run again for his job (not keep it, but run again) as a victory. I think that sums up his presidential aspirations far better than anything I could ever say.
Stage2: In your perfect world who's a viable candidate? One that's simply able to win? You and your collective voice have done your share to squelch RP. I guess we must applaud your outcome. You have been bashing RP and his supporters for quite awhile. What is your goal in posting on this thread? To get it locked down?
Its not a perfect world, so the question is irrelevant. As far as posting in this thread, I had no intention to until one of your compadres brought me into it. Or did you not bother to read that part?
Wholesale rejection...by the Media. Anyone with a thimble full of intelligence should be able to see this bias.
Last time I checked, the media wasn't walking into the voting booth and casting a vote. Of course, if your assertion was correct, Rudy would be the republican nominee and we all know he's not. The only thing a thimble is useful for in this case is to measure the amount of support Paul recieved in the primaries.
Again these are problems that RP has brought to light thru his campaign. RP has brought up many points, laws, acts, etc. that have pushed this country in the wrong direction, something that NO OTHER CANDIDATES have the courage to talk about.
Yup. Paul is the only person in government who understands anything. Its a wonder that we haven't just fallen into the sea by now.
Sweep RP under the rug, there's no room for a STATESMAN.
Again I renew my earlier contention. How much of a statesmen can he be when 98% of his bills havent even made it out of comittee and ZERO have been enacted.
I hear all this stuff about how he is the savior of america, but the fact is that he has done jack in congress over the last 10 years. Even friggin Hillary has gotten some stuff through.
